Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

On my 2023 Oregon coast trip one of my goals was to shoot Thor’s Well from directly above. This was a bit of a bucket list item and of all the shots I think this was the best. The print in my office gets a lot of, “What is this?”>=))>

Specific Feedback

As the well fills and spills it’s almost like it’s breathing. Does that come across with a still image?

Technical Details

DJI Mini 3 Pro
ISO 100, 1/30 sec @ f1.7

Super cool use of the drone!! A seagull’s eye view for sure – wonder if they appreciate this thing? Not sure it conveys anything specific beyond some sort of crazy wave action, but that’s enough for me! Maybe people who aren’t into photography don’t really appreciate this place…

I am not familiar with this place but your Image is really good and does show question. Thats a good thing in my world… I love the blues and the whites which gives me a contrast vibe to the brown rocks. Its very COOL !!!
